The Osprey Porter 46 is designed for the traveler who wants a carry-on sized backpack with exceptional comfort and durability. This large pack, built with robust nylon material, can handle heavy loads while still being quite light at 1.5 pounds. The robust build includes features useful for the modern traveler like a laptop compartment capable of holding a 15-inch laptop, and according to Osprey, is compatible with about 47% of airlines. Overall, reviewers commend its spaciousness, comfort, and streamlined design for its size.
In contrast, the Peak Design Travel Bag casts a sleeker silhouette. Slightly heavier at 2.1 pounds, the Travel Bag is constructed with weatherproof 400D nylon canvas and 900D nylon at the bottom for additional durability plus weather-proof zippers, setting it up to handle not just heavy loads but also tough weather conditions. As the name implies, storage capacity comes in at 30 liters, smaller than the Porter 46, yet design drives this bag by promoting efficient use of space despite a smaller form factor, including a laptop compartment fitting 15-inch laptops. Its compatibility with airlines is estimated a bit lower, around 38%.
- Dimensions and weight: The Osprey Porter 46 is slimmer, weighs 1.5 pounds whereas the Peak Designs Travel Bag is shorter, wider, and heavier at 2.1 pounds.
- Capacity: The Osprey Porter 46 has a much larger capacity at 46 liters, whereas the Peak Designs Travel Bag tops at 30 liters.
- Material: The Osprey Porter 46 is solely built with nylon, while the Peak Design Travel bag combines weatherproof 400D nylon canvas and 900D nylon with weatherproof zippers for additional durability.
- Laptop Compartment: Both can accommodate laptops up to 15 inches.
- Airline Compatibility: The Osprey Porter 46 is compatible with more airline carry-on restrictions at 47%, while the Peak Designs Travel Bag comes in lower at 38%.
While both backpacks are sturdy and durable, the Osprey Porter 46 offers more space, making it a better option for travelers who like to carry more or go on longer trips. On the other hand, the Peak Design Travel Bag is built with weather-resistance in mind and offers a sleek form factor and smart organization despite smaller capacity. Both bags are popular among reviewers because of their well thought-out design and functionality. Choose the Porter 46 if you need space, or the Travel Bag if weather resistance, innovative design, and compactness are more critical.
